I think the Bistro experience describes the entire American Girl experience in a nutshell. While the food and service were reasonably average and the presentation and packaging was otherwise very on target, the price rivaled a fine French restaurant in McLean. We got burgers, fries and a cute little cake for two adults and two kids with two glasses of... More

my 6 year old and I visited with her grandmother on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Everything was great, Service was great, food was what we expected for the AG Place as we've been to others. We liked the smaller atmosphere here as it was way too crazy and crowded at the Cafe in NYC. Chicago had a much larger room... More

I took my daughter to the American Girl store and bistro to celebrate her 6th birthday. We had a lovely time, and I was honestly surprised at how much we got for the money. I ordered the birthday meal package, which was $30 for my daughter, and $20 for me. For that, we got drinks, each of us got a... More

For an adult it's an okay experience. For my 11 year old, she was in awe the whole time. It's about the kids and that's all that matters. I didn't go there expecting a wonderful meal. My daughter said it was her best birthday ever! More

First off you don't go the AG store for the quality of the food, but because the little girls in your life love it and the store. The service was friendly, food mediocre to OK, but cutely presented. To get an idea of cost, paid $175 including tip for a party of 6, 2-10 year olds, 1-8 year old, 1-5... More

My daughter and I ate lunch here last month as a special treat. While we had reservations, once seated no one came to greet us or take our order for 10 minutes! Imagine my surprise when we were served what appeared to be melted velveeta cheese disguised as fondue! Next up, lunch was mac and cheese again prepared out of... More

I took my daughter here today as a special end-of-the summer treat. We went at noon so we had lunch, which is the same menu as for dinner. FYI, the menu we had was not the same as the one online. While many of the items were offered, many also weren't. We had to wait about 10 minutes to be... More

We booked a bistro birthday party for our daughter, who was turning 8. 4 of us were there together, Mom, Dad, big brother and the birthday girl. The whole experience was so magical! The food was good quality, the service was wonderful, love the theming in the restaurant, just adorable, it's cute, cute, cute! I can't think of a better... More

My daughters and I ate at the AG Bistro in Tysons after hours of shopping! The food was good but what stood out was the service! Our waiter Mo was great. He really made my daughters feel special, he brought them little tea-cups for their dolls and told them to be sure to share!! It was my oldest daughters birthday... More
